This is a pivotal leadership role at the centre of giffgaff’s marketing strategy, responsible for shaping how the brand delivers sustainable growth through media and performance. You will define and lead the end to end acquisition strategy, ensuring giffgaff shows up powerfully across paid, owned and emerging AI driven channels. With ownership of a substantial marketing budget, you will make high impact investment decisions that maximise reach, effectiveness and commercial return, while strengthening giffgaff’s presence with both consumers and next generation platforms.
Beyond strategy, this role plays a critical part in connecting the full marketing ecosystem. You will bring together product marketing, media planning, analytics and agency partnerships to create a seamless go to market approach that supports every stage of the customer journey. From defining clear product positioning through to enabling data led optimisation and predictive performance, you will build a test and learn culture that continuously improves outcomes. As a senior leader, you will also inspire and develop a high performing team, influence stakeholders across the wider Virgin Media O2 ecosystem, and ensure giffgaff stays at the forefront of innovation in an increasingly competitive and fast evolving landscape.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

In return for your outstanding efforts, you'll be rewarded with a competitive salary and excellent benefits that are all about making your work life a winner. Take a look at our culture and benefits - you might just be surprised.
Our bright and modern gaff is in Uxbridge, in leafy West London. But if commuting isn't for you, most of our roles can be hybrid or remote, or anywhere in between.

Next steps
If we feel like a place where you can belong, we'd love to learn more about you as a person and your experience to date.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. If you're offered a job with us, it will be conditional, based on the passing of background checks. All roles require a criminal record check and some roles need a financial probity check. Your recruiter can provide you with more information, if needed.
